Archived Can you name all the Target exclusive launches? Missoni, Lilly Pulitzer, Global Bazaar...

[Selfishpresley]

Trying to remember them all... What are your opinions on them?

 

[CoolLife24]

Missoni i guess is ok some of the outfits are kinda weird in the pictures! Lilly Pulitzer omg is too cute I guess I have to physically see them before I buy anything or just return them I guess. Global bazaar is just regular furniture for everyday I felt

Cheating again on wiki:
Product lines and partnershipsEdit
Target has many exclusive deals with various designers and name brands, including Finnish design company Marimekko; architect Michael Graves; athletic wear company Converse; Italian fashion label Fiorucci; fashion designers Lilly Pulitzer, Liz Lange, Mossimo Giannulli, and Isaac Mizrahi, among others. To further increase their fashion profile, Target also created its fashion-forward Go International line, which hires famous designers to design collections available only for a few months.[129]

Target, after hiring architect Michael Graves to design the scaffolding used to renovate the Washington Monument and contributing $6 million USD to the restoration plan, introduced its first designer line of products in 1999, the Michael Graves Collection of housewares and home decor products.[129] Walmart and Kmart have followed Target's lead by signing exclusive designers to their stores as well. Target also partners with well-established national brands to create exclusive collections for its stores.[129]

Target also signed an exclusive deal with Food Network to sell VHS tapes of TV shows featuring popular chefs such as Alton Brown, Paula Deen, and Rachael Ray.[when?][citation needed]

In 2005, Target introduced a major revision of prescription bottles, which it calls the ClearRx system. The redesigned bottles are color-coded, flattened-out and turned upside down, providing more room for the label. This system was based on the patent[130] by student Deborah Adler and was named one of TIME's "Most Amazing Inventions of 2005".[131]

Sometimes manufacturers will create red-colored items exclusively for Target. In 2002, Nintendo produced a red special edition variant of the Game Boy Advance, which featured the Target logo above the screen.[132]

In 2005, IFC began a partnership with Target to promote a selection of independent films, both in Target stores and on IFC Monday nights at 9:00 pm Eastern. Originally titled IFC Cinema Red, the promotion was rebranded on-air as The Spotlight in 2007. The in-store headers refer to the selected titles as IFC Indies – Independent films chosen for Target by the Independent Film Channel.[133]

In 2016, Target began to enforce gender neutrality in its marketing of toys, and no longer explicitly listed specific toys as being for "boys" or "girls". This practice was expanded with the February 2016 launch of a new children's decor line, Pillowfort, which will replace its Circo brand and feature more gender-neutral designs and color schemes.[134]

Exclusive First Look at "The Candy Store at Target"! - Soiree Event Design - https://soiree-eventdesign.com/2012/04/exclusive-first-look-at-the-candy-store-at-target/
One candy partnership had regular candy repackaged to look "fancy" and priced accordingly. I think it was ^ partnership.

Isn't that to one that had the bike shown on oprah that everyone wanted but I don't think it was sold in stores or maybe just mine didn't get it.

The bike.View attachment 6195

Everyone here wanted that one.

I remember the ugly ass missoni one that wouldn't sell here.

 

[PMT2Four]

I do remember a bike not selling but couldn’t remember the brand. Even in a biking city no one wanted it. And that might be just it, they wanted function over fashion.

 

[command3r]

I was a huge fan of the Global Bazaar concept, it was just way too overpriced.

 

[RandomRedShirt]

That was the one with the bike that would not sell!

My store sold 5 of them 😉

I remember the Choxie candy we sold for a brief period, found it at the dollar store 3 months after we dumped the brand. Stuff wasn't bad, just too fancy for most people. Sold decent enough at my store that I was bummed when it disappeared.

 

[PMT2Four]

I still have what I bought from Global Bazaar so I got my money’s worth. Even though the section itself doesn’t exist anymore, the name will still pop up from time to time.
